Professor X Battles Marvel's Ultimate Sentinel in Epic Fan Art
In an epic new piece of fan art, X-Men leader Professor X battles Nimrod, the ultimate Sentinel. New York City-based artist Andrew Drilon shared the piece, showing one of the founders of Krakoa primed for battle against Nimrod. Drilon’s piece also spins out of events currently unfolding in the X-Men family of titles, namely Inferno.
The X-Men were born out of Professor Charles Xavier’s dream of harmony between humans and mutants, which has brought him and the X-Men into conflict with not only humanity, but other mutants such as Magneto or Apocalypse. An Omega level mutant and one of the most powerful telepaths who ever lived, Professor X has guided generations of mutants through his various schools and teams. During the House of X/Powers of X series, Professor X joined forces with Magneto and others to form the nation of Krakoa, an island paradise where mutants could live freely without worry of prejudice or interference from the outside world. All was well on Krakoa for a short while, but long buried secrets are now coming to light, causing the cracks in the nation’s foundation to be exposed.

Now, Andrew Drilon has created a stunning new piece of fan art that captures this explosive confrontation.
